Introduction

Features
Small footprint and optimized functions
The NX7 PLC has a small footprint and is optimized to meet your
environmental needs for control.
N Designed optimally for micro to small scale applications that
require up to 104 control points. Base 28 or 48 control points are
provided by default. An expansion module provides 28 points and
up to 2 expansion modules can be mounted. Therefore, max. 104
points (48 base points + 2 X 28 expansion points) are available.
N Improves system productivity since major functions such as PID
(proportional integral differential) control, high-speed counter,
pulse output, and pulse catch are embedded in the processor
module.
N Provides one-to-many data exchange and two built-in
communication ports, which enables your PLC system to connect
directly to a touch screen and exchange large volume data at high
speed.

Instructions modify while running

Designed to allow you to modify and execute Instructions quickly
while the CPU is running.

High-capacity programming and memory backup

Up to 9k words program is supported. Flash ROM backup allows you
to save your programs separately and safely.

The built-in real time clock function enables time and date related
programming tasks. You can implement a simple link function that
allows data communications between CPUs.

Compatibility of peripherals
Supports backward compatibility with the existing programming
device (WinGPC), which allows easier programming, CPU state
checkups, forced input/output, input/output monitoring, and program
download and upload.

9
 Two built-in communication ports
2 built-in communication ports allow easy connection to computers
and peripheral devices without additional communication modules.

Self-diagnostics
The convenient self-diagnostics function makes your system
diagnostics and troubleshooting easier.

Built-in PID control

ATTENTION
Follow these directions to prevent your PLC system
from malfunctioning:
• Use an isolation transformer and noise filter on the
incoming power to your controller system if there
are any high capacity equipment, high voltage or
strong electromagnetic influences nearby.
• Separate the main PLC grounding from all the
groundings of other equipment. Make sure to use
class 3 grounding.
• Make sure to use the external 24V dc power
provided inside the NX7 module within the allowed
ratings.
• Familiarize yourself with the PLC instructions and
then design and implement your programs to
ensure that system fault or malfunction is not
caused by program error.
• Perform preventive maintenance to your PLC
system, and inspect equipment and wiring status
periodically. Make sure to ensure safety before
operating your PLC system.

The frame ground terminal must be grounded with Class 3 (100Ω or
less of ground resistance) or Class D grounding to prevent voltage
mixing between the frame ground and the power input terminals.

Ground the frame ground

terminal with a dedicated Class 3
(100 Ω or less of ground
resistance) or Class D grounding.

Power source transformer filter

* If the secondary side of the isolation transformer and the noise filter is too far from the
controller system and noise becomes excessive, it does not have any significant effect.

Status LEDs
The following figure shows the LEDs indicating PLC status:

Output LEDs

Processor LEDs
Five LEDs are used to indicate processor status:
RUN is On when the processor is operating normally. Flashing
indicates that the processor is pausing. Pause means that input/output
is being progressed or the processor retains data.
PROG is On when the program in the processor module can be
edited.
ERR is On when a processor error occurs or operation cannot
proceed due to an abnormal program. Flashing indicates that a battery
is not installed, or a minor error that does not hold processor
operation has occurred.
COM1 flashes when communications are proceeding normally
through COM1 port (9-pin D-Sub).
COM2 flashes when communications are proceeding normally
through COM2 port (MJ).

Addressing and Operation

Addressing Space
All the memory used for external I/O processing and internal data
processing has always both address and data (the content).
Addressing space is classified as R, L, M, K, F, W, TC, SV, PV, and SR.
These letters are used to designate a specific area in memory as
shown in the following table.

Memory areas Addresses Description

 Bit and Word Addressing
A bit address is composed of a character (R, L, M, K, F) that identifies
the type of memory area, a 3-digit decimal number(000 to 127) that
indicates a word, and a 2-digit decimal number(00 to 15) that indicates
a bit. A timer/counter contact is represented by the label TC followed
by 3-digit decimal like TC000. The 3-digit decimal indicates a timer/
counter channel number from TC000 to TC255.However, the hand-held
programmers (HHP) PGM-10, 12S and 300A use the label TIM instead
of TC. For example, TIM000 is used instead TC000 to address the first
timer/counter channel.
A word address is composed of a character(R, L, M, K, F, W, SV, PV, SR)
that identifies the type of memory area, and a 4-digit decimal number
(0000 to 2047) that indicates word. Special registers SR000 to SR511
can be represented as W2560 to W3071.
Both of bit and word addresses can be used to address the memory
areas of R, L, M, K, F. However, be cautious that instructions use a
specific type of address, either bit or word address, and the used
addresses are resolved automatically depending on the type of
instruction.
Bit address can have the content of either On (1) or Off (0) state. Word
address is composed of 16 bits and holds a data value from 0 to
65,535. Double word address is composed of 32 bits and holds a data
value from 0 to 4,294,967,295.

Addressing example
M 123 . 12

Bit number
2-digit decimal number from 00 to 15

Point
Distinguishes word address from bit address.

Word number
When used with bit number, 3-digit decimal number (000 to
127) is used.
When only word number is used, 4-digit decimal number
(0000 to 3071) is used without bit number.

Address Type
Depending on the type of memory area that the address
references, one of R, L, M, K, F, W, SR, SV, PV, and TC is
used.

NOTE Whether an instruction uses bit address or word address depends on instruction type. Commonly, the basic
instructions use bit address to reference a contract. Comparison and advanced instructions use values referenced by 4
digit word addresses.

30
Double Word Addressing
N Double word addressing is the same as word addressing, except
that 32-bit data is referenced by the specified address and its next
address.
N The type of instruction used determines which addressing, word or
double word, is applied.
N When using a double word comparison instruction with GPC5,
press Ctrl+T in Edit mode to set the addressing mode to 'double',
and then enter comparison instruction. The addresses you enter
will be recognized as double word address. The character ‘D’ will
appear in the instruction box on the ladder program to indicate
double word addressing mode.

Example 1) ldentifying word and double word addressing

Word With the parameter D or S, 1 word data (16 bits = 0

to 65535) are processed.

Double word With the parameter D or S, 2 words data (32 bits =

0 to 4,294,967,295) are processed.

For example, as shown in the figure below, the double word, W0000,
is composed of two words, W0000 and W0001. The bits of W0000
become the least significant bits (LSB) and those of W0001 become the
most significant bits (MSB). Likewise, the double word address,
W0001, represents the combination of two words W0001 and W0002.
If a word is addressed in more than one place, like the word W0001
referenced by the two double words W0000 and W0001 as shown in
the following figure, be cautious because duplicate use of the same
word may cause problems.

 Example 2) Comparison instruction in WinGPC

Word On the WinGPC screen, select the advanced

instruction input option. Enter the symbol >=. The
screen will be displayed as shown in the figure.
Operands such as W0005 and 1234 are 16-bit word
values.

Double word
On the WinGPC screen, select the advanced
instruction inputt option. Enter D first and then enter
the symbol >=. Double word
addressing is applied for the addresses you enter.
Double word W0005 is composed with combination
of two words W5 and W6. M3 is made up of M3 and
M4. The comparison is performed on 32-bit data.

32
 l/O Addressing
Addressing is based on the location of the module.
I/O addressing method: Fixed addressing
N I/O address range
- Input address: R000.00 to R015.07
- Output address: R016.00 to R031.07
- Special function address: R032 to R127 words (addressable as bit
addresses.)
Base (8 words) Expansion 1 (4 words) Expansion 2 (4 words)
Input: R00 to R07 Input: R08 to R11 Input: R12 to R15
Output: R16 to R23 Output: R24 to R27 Output: R28 to R31

Addressing example

Input R0.0 to R1.7 Input R8.0 to R9.7 InputR12.0 to R13.7

28 points 28 points 28 points

Output R16.0 to R17.3 Output R24.0 to R25.3 Output R28.0 to R29.3

Input R0.0 to R3.3 Input R8.0 to R9.7 Input R12.0 to R13.7

48 points 28 points 28 points

OutputR16.0 to R18.3 Output R24.0 to R25.3 Output R28.0 to R29.3

IMPORTANT I/O addresses are allocated by byte. But, word addressing is used for internal
arithmetic.
The addresses of an expansion module are fixed. They are configured
automatically as Expansion 1 or Expansion 2.

 Processor Operation Mode
What is the processor operation mode?
The processor has an external RUN/REMOTE/PROG switch. The PLC
performs a system check that determines the position of the switch.
The switch position determines which operating mode the PLC is in. It
can set to RUN, STOP, REMOTE, or ERROR mode.

Status LEDs

Operation mode selector

Operation mode Operation LED status Program Data Operation mode at

RUN 5 ● Disabled Enabled RUN

STOP ● ◑ Disabled Enabled RUN
RUN 5 5 Enabled Enabled RUN
RMT (REMOTE)
PAUSE ◑ 5 Enabled Enabled PAUSE

PROG STOP ● 5 Enabled Enabled STOP

IMPORTANT LED status - 5: On, ◑: Flashing, ●: Off

When the PROG.LED is on, you can change the user program
When the mode switch is set to REMOTE and power is switched from Off to On,
the previous mode of operation is restored.
When debugging the user program, the mode switch should be set to REMOTE.

PROG STOP

NOTE1 As in the status indicator, if an error occurs within a mode during RUN state, set the mode change to
STOP or PAUSE automatically base on the type of error information, and the error lamp is turned on. However, an
arithmetic error will occur during the operation when, the error lamp is turned on and is changed to STOP.
Afterwards, after the PROCESSOR has been halted, the error lamp may be turned off.
NOTE2 Mode switches in status will be remotely changed when the error is canceled.
NOTE3 Be cautious during programming since the status switch of Note 1) or Note 2) changes even when
setting the F0.15 contact that controls operation modes is turned to On/Off.
Note2

RUN Mode
The PLC reads the external input signals and executes the user
program stored in memory. The external outputs are updated on every
scan based on program results. (Run LED maintains On.)

PAUSE Mode
A user program is operated at every scan and the I/O and result value
is maintained. This mode is used when checking and debugging a
program at every scan. This mode is similar to the Stop mode, but it
does not initialize data. (RUN LED flickers.)

STOP Mode
The user program is stopped and the external outputs are turned Off.
In the Stop mode, you may correct, delete or transfer the program.

ERROR Mode

The ERROR mode occurs when the PLC finds an error after running the
self-diagnosis routine. When an error occurs, the PROCESSOR decides
whether the operation continues, and displays either STOP or RUN.
The Error can be cleared by changing the power from Off to On,
switching operation mode from STOP to RUN, or downloading
programs after checking the error code and taking the appropriate
measures.

Special Functions

High-Speed Counter Input Function

Overview
The High-speed counter (HSC) counts faster and shorter pulses than
the speed frequency (scan time), with which the CPU uses to run
programs, and for sequence and arithmetic operations. It is designed
to use ‘R0.0 to R0.3’ for general contacts, as the internal bit setting
points for the high-speed counter. Similar to contacts, the signal types
that can be supported at the dc voltage range of 12V to 24V.
The HSC input allows you to count up to 8 kHz pulses in the single-
phase pulse mode and do up to 4 kHz in encode mode. There are two
types of high-speed counter input modes: pulse input mode and
encode mode.

Input terminal
Address Signal Description
Stores the preset value as the counter’s present value.
R0.0 HSC, Preset When the contact is on, the preset value is stored as the present value.
(Operates only when R40.11 is set.)
Inputs count inhibit (The counter stops when the contact is On.)
R0.1 HSC, Inhibit
(Operates only when R40.10 is set.)
When setting Mode 0, input counter pulse.
R0.2 HSC, IN 0
When setting Mode 2, input encoder phase A.
When setting Mode 0, input counter direction.
R0.3 HSC, IN 1 (Off = Increase, On = Decrease)
When setting Mode 2, input encoder phase B.

 Pulse input mode (Mode 0)
The pulse input mode is executed by setting the contacts R40.13 and
R40.12 to ‘0’. It counts input pulses that enter the R0.2 input terminal.
The counter value increases when the R0.3 terminal signal that
determines the direction is set to Off, and it decreases when the R0.3
terminal signal is set to On. If the bit of the direction setting input R40.8
is set to Off (set as '0'), then the count will always increase.

In the case of the pulse input mode, the HSC performs counting when
a pulse is falling. The present value of the counter is scaled up when
the direction input is Off, and is scaled down when the direction input
is On.
When the counter inhibit input is set to On, the counter stops counting
regardless of the direction.

This mode processes phase A and phase B. There is a 90° angle
difference between the phase A and B. When the phase A is set to On
and the phase B is input, the count value increases. This value
decreases when the phase A is input after phase B is set to On.

The present value of the counter is going up when the phase angle of
phase A is followed by that of phase B, while B is going down, and
when phase B is followed by phase A. Essentially, when the phase A
value is input first, the count increases as the phase A value rises
(incremental edge), but when the phase A value is input later, the
count decreases as the phase A value falls (decremented edge).

 Input Pulse Catch Function
Overview
Four input contacts (R0.0, R0.1, R0.4, and R0.5) have a pulse catch
function, which maintains the On status until the scan is completed,
even when a shorter pulse than the scan time is input. This function
allows these contacts to process the high-speed pulses, which are
shorter than the scan time, and without the additional cost.

 How to Use
The pulse output generates output pulses in the following order and
process.
1) Set mode setting, direction, frequency, duty ratio, or output
numbers in the register.
Ex) In case of CH0, PWM mode, 5 kHz, and 50% duty ratio
- P0 MODE (R32) = $3300 (0011 0011 0000 0000)
- P0 FREQ (R33) = 5000
- P0 DUTY (R34) = 50
2) Set R64.0 to Set ('1') in order to generate pulses as CH0.
3) Set R64.2 to Set ('1') in order for CH0 to start pulse output.
=> When setting is as described above, a PWM signal of 5 kHz goes
to CH0.

Program example 1: PWM mode

If you set CH0, PWM mode, 5 kHz, and 50% duty ratio as described
above, and output the pulse at 0.5 seconds per second, the following
setting is required.

Going Online with WinGPC
Overview
Install the NX7 series via an online connection since you can normally
connect and control the installed NX7 series on the WinGPC version
3.0 or higher. If you can see the NX7 Model in the PLC model list that
appears after selecting the ‘Project | New Project’ item from the menu,
as shown in the figure below, normal operation can proceed.

Initialization
Since the PLC’s internal battery is open after purchasing the PLC
initially, programs and data are not cleared. After the battery is
connected and the power supply is turned on, the programs and data
can be initialized to operate normally. Initialization includes deleting
programs, clearing data, setting ID, and setting the time.
N Delete program: Connect after clicking the Online option on the
Online menu or the Online icon on the toolbar. Simply enter 255 in
the ID textbox and set the communication speed. Once connected,
select the ‘Clear Program’ option from the Online menu.

73
 N Clear Data: Click the ‘System Information’ button on the Online
menu and select ‘KEEP clear’. This will clear all data in the Keep
contact (K) area and will complete data initialization.

N The connection will fail with a different ID since the PLC has its
own intrinsic ID. The initialization method succeeds by setting this
ID to 255. That is, when the ID is set to 255, it represents an
undesignated ID, which allows users to communicate with any ID.

74
N The time setting works automatically when the timing function is
built in, and you can modify the date and time by clicking the date
and time set buttons respectively. You can easily assign the date or
time automatically to the PLC designated on the PC by clicking the
‘RTC date’ or the ‘RTC time’ button.

75
 Programming and Downloading
Overview
Programming is processed in the offline state while disconnected from
the PLC. You can designate a specific address by selecting the
instruction icon and clicking on the location to run it. The 'Delete' key
can be activated after the area is selected for moving or deleting the
position.
The shortcut keys can be used for fast and easy processing in cases
where it is inconvenient to use the mouse. The desired instructions
can be entered directly by using the shortcut key ‘X’ for advanced
instructions.

Program downloads
After downloading a complete program for transmission to the PLC to
be run, or for executing a ladder program, you should transmit it to the
PLC as follows.

76
First, set the PLC operation switch to PROG, and select the `Online'
button from the displayed icons. Select 'WinGPC==>PLC (W)...' from
the Online menu.
If the I/O contact point status does not have
a problem, set the operation switch to ‘RUN’.
The ‘RUN’ LED will be turned on, and the PLC
will begin to run.

Program Monitoring
Overview
When monitoring a program transmitted to the PLC, you may check
the status of the contact point or operation by selecting the “Ladder
Monitoring” from the “Monitoring” menu, as shown in the right
figure.
To display the ladder program status as shown in the figure below, the
same program must be installed on the PC, and it will convert to the
ladder status through the normal programming process.

77
 Program uploads
You can upload the program and export the program running on the
PLC directly to the PC. The menu is selected in online mode. If a
password has been set, this function will function after password
validation.

Program verification
When checking the NX7 Series PLC programs on the PC, you must
install the same program on the PC after uploading. Otherwise, you
cannot verify and monitor the PLC programs. The figure below shows
that the installed program is in the monitoring status.

78
PLC Diagnostics
Overview
When diagnosing the PLC CPU, the status of the PLC is checked by
selecting ‘CPU Diagnosis’ from the ‘Monitoring’ menu while it is
online. If it is in normal status, the following screen will appear.

79
 Error checkup
If any program error occurs, ‘FAIL’ appears on the ‘Program Syntax’
item in the system diagnosis table on the left side of the error
information screen, and its relevant step number is shown in the
Syntax Diagnosis table on the right side. Checking the error code is
critical to taking quick and appropriate action to correct the problem.
The figure below displays an error that appeared because of a wrong
designation of the input/output address. In other words, the error
occurred because the output point to step #2 was assigned as an input
address. If this occurs, the error lamp turns on, and the CPU stops.

80
Using a Password
Overview

To set or change the password, go online with your WinGPC, click
Online | System Information | Password and then enter a new
password. The password may include any combination of numbers
and special characters.
However, we recommend using alphanumeric characters. Once the
password is set, if you do not enter the correct password, you cannot
access to the program, i.e., you cannot upload the program, and you
cannot change or disable the password.

Disabling a password

prompted to enter the password when you go online.
